WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit a website that uses them—almost all websites do. The usefulness of the cookie is that the website is able to remember your visit when you browse the site again. Cookies have been used for more than 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
WHAT IS NOT A COOKIE?
It is not a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.
WHAT INFORMATION CAN A COOKIE STORE?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or banking details, photographs, ID card numbers or personal information, etc. The data stored is of a technical nature, personal preferences, content personalization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather with your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person, because it is actually associated with the browser, not the person.
